The Unique Identification Authority of India  has launched a revamped Aadhaar app designed to make identity verification faster, safer, and more private. With features like selective data sharing and offline verification, the app turns your smartphone into a powerful identity tool.

1. 🚀 Instant Aadhaar Verification from Your Phone

Gone are the days when you had to carry physical Aadhaar copies for every verification. The new Aadhaar app lets you verify your identity instantly from your mobile device—be it for hotels, banks, or government services—without photocopies.

2. 🔐 Selective Data Sharing — You Decide What to Reveal

No more exposing your entire Aadhaar details when only a few pieces of information are needed.
You can now choose specific identity attributes to share with requesting entities, such as:

• Name & photo only
• Name + age (without address)
• Address + gender
  …and more, depending on what’s needed.
  This helps protect your privacy and sensitive personal information.

3. 📇 Reduces Need for Physical Aadhaar Cards

With the app, you can securely access your Aadhaar card digitally anytime. This eliminates the need to carry physical Aadhaar cards or photocopies for everyday tasks like check‑ins and identity checks.

4. 🛂 Offline Aadhaar Verification

Even if you don’t have internet access, you can still verify your Aadhaar using offline verification tools in the app.
This is great for:

• Remote areas with poor connectivity
• Quick checks where online access isn’t available
  The app supports QR code‑based offline authentication that services can scan without needing your Aadhaar number directly.

5. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Manage Multiple Aadhaar Profiles on One Device

You can now store and manage up to five Aadhaar profiles in the same app (as long as they share the same registered mobile number). This makes it easier for families to:

• Carry wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital IDs
• Share details when needed
• Update information from one place 🔁

6. 🧠 Secure biometric & Face Authentication

For enhanced protection, the app uses biometric locks and data-face authentication, ensuring only you (and authorized users) can access or share your Aadhaar details. This significantly strengthens data security.

7. 🔍 Activity Log for Better Transparency

The app keeps a record of when and where your Aadhaar data was used for verification. This helps you:
✔ Track usage history
✔ Spot unusual access
✔ Stay informed about your wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital identity’s footprint
Such transparency gives users more control and peace of mind.

8. 📲 Easy Updates for mobile & Address

Not only verification — the new app also lets users initiate updates for mobile numbers and addresses digitally, reducing or even eliminating the need to visit Aadhaar centres for minor changes.

9. 📊 QR Code Sharing for Paperless Identity

Instead of showing your full Aadhaar, you can generate a secure QR code from the app.
Authorized systems — like banks, verification kiosks, or service counters — can scan this QR code for instant, secure verification.

10. 🧠 Why This Update Matters

✔ Makes Aadhaar verification faster and paperless
✔ Strengthens privacy with selective sharing
✔ Enables offline identity checks
✔ Cuts down the need for physical documents
✔ Improves security & user control
✔ Supports digital transformation of identity services

💡 Pro Tip: Always keep your Aadhaar app updated, and use selective share options whenever possible — it’s one of the safest ways to minimize unnecessary exposure of your personal data.
